Angus Thongs And Perfect Snogging - seen this several times now. It's oddly resting. Formulaic trials and tribulations of middle class teenage Brit girl. Pleasant enough with some cringe-inducing bits. Just a shame about the awful music on the soundtrack and the vile Alan Davies (though he is good in it).
How To Train Your Dragon - clichéd and mostly tiresome animated feature almost redeemed by the superb cinematography and the climactic action sequence. The character designs are very ugly and it was difficult to see past this (an issue I have with most anime too). Even though it is a kids' film it seemed overly childish!
Alice In Wonderland - magnificent tour de force from Tim Burton and the gifted pen of Linda Woolverton. Utterly wonderful and such a clever and rewarding rewrite/adaptation to a familiar tale. I adored this.
